The Galaxies (Al-Burooj)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the heaven, holding the big stars. 1 And by the Promised Day. 2 and [of] Him who witnesses [all,] and [of] that unto which witness is borne [by Him]! 3 Perish the fellows of the ditch, 4 [Containing] the fire full of fuel, 5 when they were seated over it 6 and were witnessing what they did to the believers. 7 And they did not take vengeance on them for aught except that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Praised, 8 Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is a Witness of all things. 9 Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning. 10 Surely for those who believe and do the right are gardens with rivers running by. That is the greatest success. 11 Surely thy Lord's assault is terrible. 12 Indeed it is He Who initiates and redoes. 13 And He is the Forgiving, and the Loving. 14 the Owner of the Throne, the Glorious One, 15 The great doer of what He will. 16 Has the story reached you of the hosts, 17 Of Firon and Samood? 18 In fact, the disbelievers had always rejected (Our revelations). 19 although Allah surrounds them. 20 In fact it (what they deny) is the Noble Qur’an. 21 On a guarded tablet. 22
